3.1.5 Message Processing Events and Sequencing Rules

The administrative-side plug-in reads extension-specific data from the remote storage location, as specified in section 3.2.5, steps 1-3. The administrative-side plug-in passes that information to an implementation-specific tool that provides a graphical user interface to display the current settings to an administrator.

If the administrator makes any changes to the existing configuration, the administrative-side plug-in writes the extension-specific configuration data to the remote storage location, as specified in section 3.1.5.2, Update Policy.

After every creation, modification, or deletion that affects the GptTmpl.inf file on SYSVOL, the administrative tool MUST invoke the Group Policy Extension Update task ([MS-GPOL] section 3.3.4.4).
